Have you ever experienced a 2 am Truth?

It's that moment where you have this stomach-punching realization: "Something is not right with my life."

In yesterday's Thursday Thread episode on Untethered with Jen Liss, I talked about the warning signs that you aren't following the messages coming from your intuition. The signs that can lead you to a 2 am Truth.

Tuesday's guest, Kristin Lee Geiger, experienced one of these on a New York subway after a day of work that went long into the night at her prestigious fashion industry job.

Join me as I dive into the warning signs that precede a truth like this, and share what you can do about it with it happens.

As always, I end this episode with a breathwork exercise to support you in breaking down the walls of limitation and stepping into your authentic power. 🦄✨

Sooo...HAVE you ever had a 2 am Truth? Share about it in the comments - I'd love to hear it! (I share a couple of mine in the episode!) 👇👇

Imagine your dream job - now imagine walking away from it.

That's precisely what Kristin Lee Geiger did.

Listen to today's podcast as she shares her story about how a 2 am wake up call on a New York City subway was what she needed to leave it all behind. 🚈🚀

🧘‍♀️ Kristin left her highly-sought career as a NYC fashion designed and hit her yoga mat eventually founding FLOFICIENT, an online fitness program that helps people find the most rewarding workout possible.

Kristin's story is more than just a career change: it's a permission slip for all who are searching for a life of joy and authenticity.

Kristin's steps from yoga teacher to entrepreneur took cutting a few tethers! Creating something that resonates personally and professionally isn't always easy – but the fulfillment is worth it.

If your heart's beating for change, this episode might be what you need to take your own courageous leap. Let Kristin's story uplift and inspire your next big (or small!) move toward an untethered life. ✨🦄

"I lost the faith, but not the guilt."

I read this line in a Janet Evanovich book about 15 years ago, and it was a thread that began my religious undoing.

I was slowly beginning to realize that this good Catholic school girl wasn't living, thinking, speaking or being so good. In fact, I was sometimes being a total as***le.

I was rebelling against the restrictive norms I'd been taught.

The problem was, the more I rebelled, the more shameful I felt.

Guilt, worry, fear of judgment – these feelings were controlling my life. I was addicted to it.

Doing things that would produce more and more shame, addicted to the cycle of self-deprecation.

It's been a wild untethering, ya'll.

One by one, I peeled back the layers, and what I found at the center is what this week's guest came on the podcast to discuss: shame around my own feminine desire.

Courtney Boyer, a renowned relationship and s*xuality expert, is here to unravel the layers of societal expectations that often s***f out joy and self-acceptance at every level of our lives.

This episode sheds light on the surprising connection between embracing our desires and stepping into a world where life is lived in full color.

We confront the misinformation surrounding female s*xuality and celebrate the potential for a society informed by pleasure, rather than restrained by outdated taboos.

Because many of our challenges with love and joy and acceptance and abundance - it's all wrapped up in our shame around our own desires and experience of pleasure.

Courtney's wisdom will – at the very least – spark curiosity in you around the complexities of female pleasure and the implications it has on your personal sense of freedom and empowerment. (And how certain practices and belief intentionally restrict our connection to it.)

Listen in to hear how pleasure is not just about the act of s*x; it's about claiming our rightful place in a narrative that has long been dictated by others, and in doing so, finding our truest selves.

How's your health?

Many of us are considering whether our current healthcare practices and solutions are serving us in a holistic way.

But how do you choose between holistic self-care and traditional medicine? How do you know what and who to trust?

Dr. Cindy Tsai, MD, bridges this gap with grace, bringing a wealth of expertise on embracing wellness from within – and how to learn to trust your own gut when it comes to your health.

As a doctor who experienced her own health journey, Dr. Cindy discovered the transformative effects of the mind-body synergy, and how it can reduce chronic stress and its toll on our vitality.

In this week's episode, Cindy and I dissect the art of health advocacy, echoing the sentiment that we can empower ourselves to make choices that resonate deeply with our unique paths.

Then, in our Thursday Thread, I pulled a vital thread about something you MUST do for your health: Give yourself permission.

This is a can't-miss pairing to support one of your most important assets: your health!

Where my fellow auto-immune disease ladies at?!

Okay, you don't have to share your medical history with me...but based on statistics, I KNOW I've got listeners who – like me – follow a strict morning protocol:

💊 Grab a little pill
💦 Wash it down with at least 8 oz of water
⛔ Don't eat or drink anything else for an hour

In today's episode, I dive into the health and healing journey many women face with Hormone Coach Poornima Vamsi, as we talk about the often-neglected impact of hormonal imbalances and low-vibe energetics on women's health.

Poornima came to her own expertise in healing when two unrelated, but massive events rocked her world:

1. Her hair started falling out in clumps, thanks to what she later learned was 'Thyroid disease'
2. Her mom was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer

When "traditional" medicine gave no answers or hope in either situation, Poornima set out on a quest to heal herself and and mother. (Spoiler alert: She did it!)

In this conversation, we discuss the power of listening to ourselves, exploring "untethered" healing modalities, and aligning with our body's natural rhythms through reflective practices such as journaling and breathwork.

All of this as Poornima explains the role energetics and our hormones physically impact the body and our health.

If you're on a health journey, this isn an amazing and insightful conversation (Plus, Poornima is simply a delight!)

How are you doing?

…no, really. How are you doing?

This question kicks off a conversation with Nirjary M. Desai on the Untethered with Jen Liss podcast this week.

Nirjary, an exceptional event curator for celebrities and brands, lays it to us straight.

We dig into what it truly means to be a female entrepreneur today, and where we set these "ideal" expectations on ourselves as business owners.

We shed light on the often neglected truth that sometimes, the strength to surge ahead in business and personal growth comes from the courage to step back and care for ourselves.

Join us for this important conversation that will bring every woman, and especially every female entrepreneur, a big plate a real talk with a delicious side of of relief. 😮‍💨 ✨🌟

Imagine the audacity of dreaming up your perfect day – and then actually chasing it down. That's exactly what Molly Ruland did, and she's on the podcast today to inspire you to do the same.

Three years ago, Molly decided she didn't need to wait for retirement to live her dream life. Having taken her business online during the pandemic, there was nothing holding her back, so she sold her belongings and bought a house in Costa Rica.

In our conversation, we talk about what it takes to make bold decisions, in our lives – and also in our businesses.

Molly is a seasoned business owner of Heartcast Media who road the waves of the pandemic and came out surfing.

For the business owner who could use some real talk, this episode shares her genuine perspective on what a business owner needs to be successful in today's world.

We talk about the emotional roller coaster that comes along with bold moves, and the how lonely it can feel sometimes as an entrepreneur. Molly shares her strategies for growth that go beyond the conventional, and the art of transforming social media connections into actual deals and leveraging extensive networks to propel your brand forward.

One of the things I'm personally passionate about is removing the stigma, confusion, and even shame many of us experience around the ages of 35-50.

Midlife crisis, midlife transition, and all the glories brought on by perimenopause – whatever you want to call it, this is real s**t we go through.

In today's Thursday Thread episode, I give my take on unveiling midlife transformations for exactly what they are: normal.

As we always do on Thursdays, I close the episode with a meditative breathwork exercise that bridges the gap between us, even as we listen from different corners of the world. 🦄✨🌬

Give it a listen, unicorn, and let me know - what is one of the weird things that's totally taken you off guard on your 'midlife' journey?!

Is the midlife crisis a real thing? I've been curious about this for a while.

I mean, there are times I'm actually pretty thrilled to be in my 40s. There are times I get a little freaked out about it.

Stephanie McLaughlin is on the podcast this week to talk about that thing that happens to us around "midlife."

When she turned 40, Stephanie decided to have 40 drinks with 40 friends from her past. The project changed her life.

In our episode, Stephanie shares how this started the '40 Drinks Project,' a movement that challenges the stigma around the midlife crisis narrative. Stephanie shares the unexpected wisdom she uncovered via the laughter and reminiscence she shared with long-lost friends.

One of the things Stephanie uncovered in this project is how her childhood memories were the secret ingredients to understanding her present self. She is now on a mission to wash away the "ick" around the idea of midlife, and to show people how it's actually a chance to turn back toward the things that brought you joy as a child.

Got money on your mind? 💸 🧠

In the most recent episode, I dive into the impact your money stories could be having in your life.

A family history of financial stress can shape the way you approach wealth today, all the way down to the biological level.

This discussion isn't just about recognizing these patterns; it's about shattering them at the level of your physical body to broaden your financial horizons and welcome a richer and more abundant life.

I get a little vulnerable and share my personal money story, and how it has impacted my financial abundance in very real ways.

Ya'll, I've been actively healing my relationship with money for a while now. I've come a loooooong way.

I end the episode by breaking down what I call the 'joybreaker' phenomenon and how it can stifle our experiences of abundance and self-worth.

Through tales of my own adjustment to a surprising financial windfall, I showcase the techniques that expanded my window of tolerance for joy.

I even gift you a FREE breathwork session at the end of the episode to help you expand your joybreaker.

Let me know what you think of this one, unicorn! I'd love to hear what strikes you. 🦄💸💸💸

Do you ever stress about money?

Believe me, I get it.

Heck - last week, I realized money stress was causing a huge tornado in my life.

All because I was worried that I'd made TOO MUCH money in 2023.

As ridiculous as that may sound, this is a real thing that happens to all of us! Thank GOODNESS for Kate Northrup, today's guest on the podcast.

Thanks to Kate, I know how to catch myself in one of these spirals – and to stop the spin.

Truly: Kate has helped me to actively heal my personal relationship with money.

In the episode, she shares why some the advice of many “finance experts” might be hurting us more than helping – and what we should do instead.

We go deep into the real things holding many of us back from financial success – like how our thoughts and our nervous system impact the money we make. (FO. REALSIES.)

So, if you ever:

🙈 Avoid looking at your credit card statements or bank account

🙈 Tell yourself you're 'bad with numbers' to avoid money decisions

🙈 Find yourself chasing after money

🙈 Feel guilty about wanting more money

🙈 Are stressed about money but avoiding it at the same time

Then your relationship with money has got 👏 to 👏 change. 👏

Listen to this episode to learn the steps you can take to liberate yourself and welcome financial abundance the E-A-S-Y way.

Have you ever caught yourself going through the motions, feeling disconnected from the vibrant life you once envisioned? Is there a magical dream life you know is possible for you, but it feels impossible to attain?

In this week's Thursday Thread, I share the number one thing keeping you tethered to a life you don't love.

You've got to feel to heal.

Yep, coming back to your body is essential to properly orchestrating the life you desire. It's your job to take your most empowered approach and become the conductor of your life – and you can't do it without letting yourself feel some hurt.

I'll also take you through a personal revelation sparked by an emotional exchange with my mom, showcasing the importance of feeling our emotions, even if they're painful, to cultivate a more compassionate existence.

At the end of this episode, I guide you through a gentle breathing exercise to deepen your connection with your body and the inherent magic of your being.

So plug in, take a deep breath, and prepare to transform the way you engage with the world around you.

How good are you at letting go?

Let's be honest – most humans suck at it.

In the latest episode, I peel back the layers on what it really means to shed the emotional "backpacks of burden" we carry (and why it's so dang hard to do it.)

I also walk you through a revealing exercise, showing you how to physically cast away tension and embrace the liberating sensation that follows.

You'll learn why this act of release is essential, not just for personal wellbeing but for propelling yourself forward in our careers and life missions.

What is truly keeping you from being happy – and living the life that's truly calling on your heart?

In today's Thursday Thread, I dive into my relationship with my husband and the tethers that have kept us stuck in patterns of fear and codependency.

Ya'll. We've been together since we were 17, and we unconsciously created SO MANY tethers.

Consciously uncoupling from them, one-by-one, has been a journey for us both. Coming out of fear-based patterns and back into love is not easy. But we both know it's worth it.

Hope this episode is supportive to you, wherever you are on your journey!

I'm a big-time introvert. 🫣

I make dinner plans, and then nearly back out on my drive to the restaurant. 😅

In high school, I got a job at Outback Steakhouse and then didn't show up for my first day of work because I was intimidated by the extreme friendliness and outgoing nature of the servers I'd met in the interview. 🫠

Yet, today, my entire business revolves around me speaking into a microphone, standing on stages, or presenting.

Heck, I DANCE and SING and BREATHE my breathy BREATH into a microphone for a living.

So, how did I go from the girl who tried to sneak out of a job fair (but got caught by her professor as soon as she got to the door)?

I listened to my gut.
My gut that was telling me to speak the f**k up.

This upcoming Wed and Thurs (2/28 & 2/29) I'm hosting a 2-day class to help you do the same.

Whether you're an introvert like me, or someone who just wants to know the ins and outs of speaking and how to clarify your message, this is an event for you!

Are you living your life with no regrets?

It's kind of hard to have NONE of them, right?

Heck, even Super Bowl stars like Travis Kelce experience events that can lead to regret!

Still, I believe each of us can have a heck of a lot less of them.

In this week's Thursday Thread, I share own evolution from hairstylist to corporate strategist to online business owner and how this continuous (and courageous) growth and transformation has helped me to avoid – or reframe – the big R in many ways.

I hope it inspires you to take more courageous action in your life, too!
